2011 Creative Economy Initiatives Fund Program

02/17/2011

The University of Massachusetts President’s Office is pleased to announce the 2011 Creative Economy Initiatives Fund. Established in 2007, and created to complement the President’s Science and Technology Initiatives Fund, the Creative Economy Fund represents a continued commitment to maintaining the University’s central role in the social and economic development of the Commonwealth and directly supports the Trustees’ strategic priority of strengthening the University’s research enterprise and growing that portfolio substantially. Total funding available will be contingent on the University’s budget situation.

The mission of the Office of Research and Engagement is to provide leadership and services that support the growth of research and scholarship across the campus, to facilitate funding and engagement with external partners, to promote innovation and societal impact, and to ensure compliance with all research related regulations and policies.
